It is the objective of the presently claimed invention to provide an apparatus for securing and supporting mobile electronic devices. In one embodiment, the securing and supporting apparatus comprising a protective shell for mounting a mobile electronic device and a support fixed to the supporting surface, wherein the protective shell and the support constitute a detachable connecting structure. The protective shell is provided with a female connector. The female connector is provided with a slot and a fastening end for connecting a male connector. The support is provided with a male connector, the male connecter is provided a fastener. For connecting the male and female connectors, the male connector is inserted into the slot and connected with the female connector in a sliding manner, then the fastener of the male connector is fastened to the fastening end of the female connector, as such the male connector is connected to the female connector.
In accordance to one embodiment, the interior of the male connector is installed a permanent magnet having a convex shape, and the interior of the female connector is installed another permanent magnet having a concave shape. The magnetic poles of the exposed ends of the two magnets are of opposite of each other, so that when the male connector is inserted into the slot of the female connector, the female connector magnet attracts the male connector magnet. The magnets are used for aiding the alignment of the male and female connectors while the male connector is being inserted into the slot of the female connector. When joining the protective shell and the support, the male and female connectors need only be placed in approximate of each other for the connectors to be drawn towards each other and guided into proper alignment by magnetic force exerted by the two magnets. This way, the user's sight on the joining process is not necessary.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
Embodiments of the invention are described in more detail hereinafter with reference to the drawings, in which:
FIG. 1 is a schematic structural view of one embodiment of the presently claimed invention;
FIG. 2 is an A-A sectional view of FIG. 1;
FIG. 3 is a schematic structural view of one embodiment of the presently claimed invention under an unlocked state; and
FIG. 4 is a perspective view of one embodiment of the presently claimed invention under an unlocked state.
FIG. 5 is an enlarged view of the male connector magnet and the female Connector magnet in one embodiment of the presently claimed invention.
 DETAILED DESCRIPTION
In the following description, designs of apparatuses for securing and supporting mobile electronic devices are set forth as preferred examples. It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that modifications, including additions and/or substitutions may be made without departing from the scope and spirit of the invention. Specific details may be omitted so as not to obscure the invention; however, the disclosure is written to enable one skilled in the art to practice the teachings herein without undue experimentation.
In the drawings, the number labels' definitions are: 1—male connector, 1-1—fastener, 2—female connector, 2-1—fastening end, 2-2—slot, and 3—protective shell.
As shown in the drawings, in accordance to one embodiment of the presently claimed invention, a mobile electronic device securing and supporting apparatus comprises a protective shell 3 for mounting the mobile electronic device and a support fixed to the supporting surface. The protective shell 3 and the support constitute a detachable connecting structure. The protective shell 3 is provided with a female connector 2. The female connector 2 is provided with a slot 2-2 and a fastening end 2-1 for connecting a male connector 1. The support is provided with a male connector 1. The size of the insertion end of the male connector 1 corresponds to the size of the slot 2-2. The male connecter 1 is provided a fastener 1-1. For connecting the male and female connectors, the male connector 1 is inserted into the slot 2-2 and connected with the female connector 2 in a sliding manner, then the fastener 1-1 of the male connector 1 is fastened to the fastening end 2-1 of the female connector 2, as such the male connector 1 is connected to the female connector 2.
In accordance to one embodiment of the presently claimed invention, the interior of the male connector 1 is provided with an opening for installing magnet, in which a permanent magnet 4 having a convex shape is installed. The interior of the female connector 2 is provided with another opening for installing magnet, in which a permanent magnet 5 having a concave shape is installed. The magnetic poles of the exposed ends of the two magnets are of opposite of each other, and the sizes and placements of the two magnets correspond each other, so that when the male connector is inserted into the slot of the female connector, the female connector magnet 5 attracts the male connector magnet 4. An enlarged view of the male connector magnet 4 and the female connector magnet 5 is shown in FIG. 5.
To better guide the insertion of the male connector 1 into the slot 2-2 of the female connector 2, the preferred placements of the male connector magnet 4 and the female connector magnet 5 in this embodiment are as such: when the male connector magnet 4 attracts the female connector magnet 5 for connection, the male connector 1 is located at the starting end of the slot 2-2 of the female connector 2.
In actual use, firstly, the male connector 1 is brought in proximity with the female connector 2, allowing the male connector magnet 4 and the female connector magnet 5 to attract each other. The magnetic force exerted by the magnets guide the male connector 1 to align with the female connector 2 for inserting into the starting end of the slot 2-2 of the female connector 2, and draw the male connector 1 to slide into the inner side of the female connector 2 along the slot 2-2. Finally, the fastener 1-1 of the male connector 1 is fastened to the fastening end 2-1 of the female connector 2, and the male connector 1 and the female connector 2 are locked together. The male connector 1 and the female connector 2 are connected and secured together, the mobile electronic is embedded in the protective shell 3, the support is fixed to the supporting surface, and ultimately the mobile electronic device is properly secured and supported for use.
To detach the support from the protective shell, firstly loosen the fastener 1-1 of the male connector 1. Secondly, slide the male connector 1 outward away from the female connector 2. The male connector magnet 4 is attracted to the female connector magnet 5 such that to guide the male connector 1 to return to the starting end of the slot 2-2 of the female connector 2. Finally, the user pulls the male connector 1 out from the female connector 2 to complete the detachment. This way, the user's sight on the protective shell-support joining and detachment processes is not necessary.
The foregoing description of the present invention has been provided for the purposes of illustration and description. It is not intended to be exhaustive or to limit the invention to the precise forms disclosed. Many modifications and variations will be apparent to the practitioner skilled in the art.
